"Is there anybody OUT there" (Pink Floyd) - I KNOW there are other parents out there!

[HopeHoops]

The group has been REALLY slow and it's a good one to keep around. We're not all older parents. A lot of DU members have youngins and can use some advice. I'm gettin' out my ruler here!

1. Hi.

You're right. This is a good group. I hope to see more folks here too.

2. I try to post whenever

I feel I have something useful to add to the discussion.

I've got LOTS of experience!

4. Hi :)

I'm brand new to DU. I'm 41, husband and I have 3 kids: 14, 13 and 9. I can certainly help bring some activity hahaa!

We have an 11 y.o. boy and a 9 y.o. girl, and no social lives of our own.

6. Welcome to DU! It's a wonderful place full of all sorts of interesting people.

Take time to familiarize yourself with the TOS here--it will help you figure out what's what in this election year: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

It's a great place, and addictive, too!

7. Thanks

Thanks for the welcomes

9. Greetings! For your dose of escaping from reality, try "The DU Lounge". Also,...

Each forum and group has a button along the top of its main page that says "About This Forum" or "About This Group". When you venture into a new place for the first time, that's a good place to start. The "SOP" (statement of purpose) is often the reason a thread will bet hidden. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

10. I have an 11 yr old daughter

and get caught up elsewhere on DU, but enjoy this group.

Thanks HopeHoops!
